Stanimir, markspace

Thank you for your help.
It is clear I have a learning curve to overcome on this subject. I
started to follow the link provided by Stanimar and look towards a
test harness as suggested by markspace. I felt I had very tight time
constraint and would not finish in time and did further google
searches.

I came across this site
http://www.henrycipolla.com/blog/2010/10/let-me-dump-your-post-free-http-post-test-server/
Just what i wanted. Ran my program and the site verifed my
implementation - relief.

However, the link is interesting reading which I will pursue. As
markspace mentioned, this experice is good and to build on.

So thank you both for your time and help.

Pete
